Touchdown! Greaser!
What do you do?
The answer I was given is:
Speed up and close the air brakes.
For the life of me I cannot grasp why this would be the answer, but this comes from a "cheat sheet" from a previous student that took his check ride with this examiner and I don't have any further information.
My answer would be to open the air brakes and attempt to land before the fence, or parallel to the fence after a 90 deg turn. I sure as heck don't want to be going through the fence any faster than I have to.
If I'm going to try to clear the fence, I'm going to fly best glide with the airbrakes off, but I wouldn't be inclined to speed up.
